What you guys did following that Naggy was petty and in my opinion sad and pathetic. It was blatant and naked revenge seeking and were I a member of TMO I would be embarrassed by my leaderships decision to pursue the matter for over 2 months.

The reason there we are concerned with the recent rulings is because they are incongruous with the vision of the raid scene that was presented back in January. The class R designation was presented as a FFA subset of mobs for non-class C guilds with lockouts for the guilds involved with killing the mobs. There was no intention of having a staff regulated rotation or anything of that nature. In fact, several guilds were formed, namely Lord Bob, with the expressed intention of disrupting the player established rotation that was established following the formation of Class R.

For BDA to be forbidden from engaging our next player rotation assigned Class R Nagafen for a dubious "infraction" that occurred during a FFA spawn is a bizarre conclusion on several fronts. First, as I previously mentioned, the rotation within Class R is a player established entity. The server staff has no involvement in that rotation insofar as they are gracious enough to have established that Class of play for us to take part in. This ruling essentially changes that aspect in a very real way. Now evidently guilds are locked into their rotation positions and the number of lockouts listed on the p99 raid page are meaningless. A correct interpretation of being banned from a Class R Nagafen SHOULD mean that the next class R spawn that BDA is not locked out for by the lockouts on the p99 raid page would not be attempted by BDA.

Secondly, penalties for infractions ought to stay within the class of spawn where the infraction occurred (or if the broken rule is severe enough, extend to all classes). Were BDA to have been restricted from competing for the next Class FFA Nagafen, the confusion level would be lessened. I would still vehemently disagree that any infraction occurred, but could at least make heads or tails of the decision.

As it stands now, this ruling along with the well documented Sev ruling and TMOs strange banning from VP, it seems as if arbitrary adjudication of raid disputes is the way of things. And that is a very sad state of affairs.
